User Reviews

Post-update reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Recurrent issues include payments/refunds failing and blocking ticket purchases, broken journey planning with incorrect times, missing platform details, and difficult open-return/search flows, plus login/notification/UI instability. A minority note the older version worked better or consider alternatives like Trainline. Overall, reliability and usability have degraded significantly.
Pros
  • Does what it's meant to
  • Never had any problems at all. Don't think it needs to be changed at all
  • I've used this app for something like a decade and recommended it to friends
Cons
  • Refunds and amendments no longer work in the app (errors out) – you have to call support
  • Journeys/search and related flow are broken or hard to use (delays, wrong times, unable to view multiple routes, need to re-enter details)
  • Platform information (platforms) not shown anymore, making connections risky
  • Open return options are hard to find or missing, making planning awkward
  • Notifications broken or unreliable; constant login prompts and overall UI instability
